Expedition #1080 stays in World at the Hard level: three legs, 13 questions and 16 different countries along the way. It opens with Flags (4 questions), carries on with Name the country (6 questions) and lands with Bigger or smaller (3 questions).
- The flags leg alternates between naming a flag and picking one: 4 questions and 10 different flags.
- In the naming leg 6 countries light up on the map and you choose each name from four.
- The size leg is 3 area duels: which of two countries is larger?
Hard skips the easiest quarter of the region and offers the nearest neighbours as wrong answers; on flags, the most similar-looking ones too.
If you joined the stops capital to capital, in the order the questions bring them, the dashed line would be 170,520 km long, with 15 hops between 16 stops.
Tips from the window seat
- Flags: Read each flag from the pole side; order matters.
- Name the country: If the close view confuses you, zoom out once and look at the whole region.
- Bigger or smaller: Near-ties are common on Hard; the figures appear after each answer.
